shwethavb · 07-06-2011, 09:11 AM

Am using Rehat linux, when i use command "PING IP-ADDRESS",

My requirement is

output of ping command should get saved to some text file automatically along with time and date of ping,

How can i do that??

Anyone Please suggest me ASAP.

Thanks in advance

[code]ping -c 1 127.0.0.1>ping.txt[code]
or if you want something that looks a bit more like a log (with the times of execution

Code:

(date;ping -c 1 127.0.0.1)>>ping.txt

Code:

while true; \
do d=$(date); \
p=$(ping -c 1 8.8.8.8 | grep received); \
echo "$d: $p" >> output.txt 2>&1; sleep 1; \
done;
